Valentines

I love Valentines Day. My hubby? Not so much. I think its all the red & pink. I don’t love all the store bought junk { except for you Target }, but I do love the handmade Valentines, decorations and homemade treats. All of my decorations are still packed away, but I did get some Valentines made this afternoon.

Simple mini-quilt hearts sewn to cardstock { a great use for red & pink scraps }. I made enough to gift and a put a few in the shop including the one in the picture. Did I mention I love Valentines Day?

Allison,That is adorable! BTW-Speaking of Valentine's Day...I am organizing a Hearts 4 Haiti project for the children in Haiti. I know that lots of people have been going to the crafty bloggy list and I was hoping you could mention or post or do something to help get the word out about this project. I am trying to have lap quilts for the children by Valentine's Day. Any help would be appreciated. Donna from Allz I'm Sewing Is...

Wow, what a neat blog. I of course am pretty new at the whole blogging thing. I love your cards. Our MOPS group is participating in a Card Kit for Military kids with deployed parents. These would be sweet for a child to send for Valentines day! What a great idea!

Since becoming a 'grown up' as opposed to hormone driven youth...I've realised that Valentines Day can be nothing more than an excuse to spend money on things that don't necessary 'say' I love you. Your card on the other hand says I love you. You mean so much to me and I'm putting my time, imagination and energy into letting you know how much. Fabulous!

I love this idea. Would you consider posting a tutorial? Maybe not this card specifically but something on random "wonky" piecing. I'm such a perfectionist who likes everything to match, lines to be straight, and order that it's hard for me to do just free-form piecing. Just a thought. Love this!
